hot hide glue wash

[Greg Newell]

Jim,
         TSP is Tri-Sodium Phosphate. It is a cleaner used predominantly by 
painters who was down things with it in an attempt to make paint stick 
better than it might otherwise. I use it myself to wash down case parts 
after using that nasty stripper chemical everybody warns me about. I should 
think it would easily wash off the CLP in the right concentration. It comes 
in powdered form that you mix with warm water. Hope this helps.

P.S. available at hardware stores or Home Depot or the like.
